Inn and forestry

The Bornkrug was created after the Thirty Years' War at the crossroads of trade routes to Malchin , Malchow , Güstrow , Neubrandenburg and Parchim . Around 1700 Bornkrug appeared in the atlas of Bertram Christian von Hoinckhusen as part of the Linstow estate. At the end of the 18th century there was a horse stable and a cottage with two apartments next to the actual pitcher. The jug economy included around 82 hectares of arable land, fishing on the Linstower See , which was 61 hectares at the time, a forge opposite the jug and, last but not least, a distillery . For this the tenant had to pay 250 thalers a year. In 1803 the jug burned down. Flying sparks from the kitchen stove had ignited the thatched roof. During the reconstruction, a jug house was almost twice as large. Another stable and three cottages with two apartments each were added by 1825, which speaks for a good economic situation at the time. With the purchase of the Linstow estate, Bornkrug came into grand ducal possession in 1827. Reduced by 30 hectares, the Bornkrug became a hereditary leasehold in 1853, and the tenant and blacksmith Rahn became a hereditary tenant. The cottages on the road to Hohen Wangelin were torn down at Rahn's request and the residents were relocated. When Rahn died in 1856, his widow sold the property in 1863 to Christian Schröder from Strenz near Güstrow. Due to the ongoing construction of highways , the jug lost more and more customers. In addition, the Linstow farm hired its own blacksmiths in 1868, which also meant that this source of income was lost. Given the poor productivity of the sandy soil, maintaining the jug was an economic necessity for the owners. In the 1870s it served repeatedly as a polling station for the communities of Linstow and Möllen for the Reichstag elections in Germany .

Due to the difficult economic conditions, the farm was sold twice more by the end of the 19th century. In 1900 the state forest authority agreed to the purchase of the farm for forest purposes. The timber maintenance department, which had been in the Kiether Forest until then, was relocated to the Bornkrug hereditary lease. Wood caretaker Rubach was given 11.5 hectares of service land between the route to Linstow and Hohen Wangelin. In addition, settler positions were advertised. The bar license was transferred to a new hereditary cooperative, which was built in 1901 and expanded by the purchaser Helmut Gahl. Further development was made possible by exchanging areas and purchasing land from the Hinrichshof, which was settled in 1903 and largely reforested. The planned 11 houses were only partially completed. Two had already been built in 1901. It was not until 1907 that the houses 1–3 came into being on the initiative of the forest. Häuslerei 9 followed in 1909 by Schuhmacher Puls. The last building of this type was carried out in 1920 by the forest, which had houses 7 and 8 built, which in 1921 became Doppelhäuslerei 7. In the meantime, the undeveloped cottage plots were leased as gardens. The owner of the Büdnerei managed to establish the pitcher in the place, which is increasingly dominated by forest workers. The Büdnerei was bought by the forest in 1944 and served as accommodation for refugees at the end of the war. Bornkrug remained a forest-based village even after 1945. It was not until 1976 that it was given a permanent road connection, in 1988 a bus turning loop and in 1989 the associated bus shelter.

New old post office (1997)

The Büdnerei No. 1 was rebuilt true to the original in 1994 as the "Old Post Office", except for the foundation walls. The district forester's office opposite and the local road were renewed.
